You know what? Yeah. I'll escape from work a little early...

That looks like a great place, and they have the Beatles "Pet Sounds" on the juke.

Sweet. Steve-o is of course invited as well.

(as I typed this they decided to test the buildings emergency PA system. The speaker is RIGHT ABOVE my desk. "Testing, Testing," indeed.)

unfortunately my better half will be at an orientation for his new job until 7.30. I'll have a drink for him, too.

I will do my best to be there, but I feel like a blanket half-thrown off the bed right now. Maybe I'll revive in time.

You must come. That is an order.

Why's it called Antarctica?

Because it's the the loneliest fucking place on earth.

You know I wanna, I am however in Brooklyn making ugly websites. Alas.

Can somebody that's going find out why it's called Antarctica? No particular reason, just curious. There could be an interesting story behind it. Or not.

I may show up later, but I need to sell some plates first for car insurance money. Promise me you'll still be there by 7 pm?

posted by TrishaLynn 29 June | 13:48

Yeah, TL, we'll still be there... give a call maybe if you're runnin' later than 7, just to be sure... I'll have my cell (you still have my cell #? if not, I can email it... you're not at DumbCo today?)

posted by Pips 29 June | 14:29

Hey Pips, will you pleeeeease bring Gladys Knight with you? You go so well together.

posted by Hugh Janus 29 June | 14:35

Then we'll all have to take the Midnight Train To...

(I can't do it)

posted by jonmc 29 June | 14:37

Don't I wish, HJ...

Will some fuzzy dice do?

posted by Pips 29 June | 14:43

Whenever jonmc takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side?

Can I call you "The Pips" every now and again, Pips?

posted by Hugh Janus 29 June | 14:44

Anything for you HJ...

"Pips" is actually the shorter version of what my dad used to call me: "Pipsidipsula" (but ya gotta say it outta the corner of your mouth over a cigar... preferably, a Top Stone cigar...)

and they have the Beatles "Pet Sounds" on the juke.

thanks, you just gave me a new twitch for the day...

Any chance ya'll will still be around at, say, 10:30?

posted by Hellbient 29 June | 15:10

There is a chance, but we often end up hungry around 9 and go off looking for food somewhere. I wonder if there's a way we could leave you a message about where we'll be. Anyone have any ideas?

posted by Hugh Janus 29 June | 15:30

I suppose I could call the bar around then.

posted by Hellbient 29 June | 15:53

Hope to see you.
